The Girl in the Blue Dress


Gypsy wandering
Through my early years
Sampling the everyday girls
Dressed in cosmetic beauty
Tailored to fit my illusions
Too soon to fade in the knowing
~
Then; the girl in the blue dress
Mischievous eyes, the tilt of her smile
I struggle to find the words
My gabble of nonsense, subsiding
Surely she will dismiss this clown
She places her finger to my lips
“Shh, don’t try so hard”
~
Beyond the veil of face and form
Beauty lies within the infant at her breast
In the given balm within her eyes
Healing the old scars of memory
Beauty, which is untouched by time
Beauty will always be
The girl in a blue dress

This is a damn good poem, Cari. Remembrance of "The Girl in the Blue Dress," takes me back to that day when I asked Marionette, my first wife, for her hand in marriage. I will never, to my dying day, forget the look on her beautiful face.
